stevepenley.com is how you can buy one for yourself. >> ask me what i'm doing on the 4th. >> what are you doing on the 4th? >> having a fifth. >> he's going to be here all week, folks. >> no, actually not. >> he won't be. >> bye, everyone, we love you. thank you so much. we'll see you. fox news alert on a developing situation in egypt. take a live look outside the presidential palace. this is in cairo. some of the biggest crowds that have been seen in so long covering the entire area. gathering for a huge anti-government protest, marking one year since president mohamed morsy took office. there are thousands saying they want him out by the end of today. and the scenes remind us very much of the 2011 egyptian revolution that overthrew then president hosni mubarak. the military setting up barricades around the palace and threatening to intervene if things -- if they aren't already out of control. we're monitoring the situation

very carefully and we'll bring you live analysis with ambassador john bolton just moments from now. but first, back here at home we begin with a fox extreme weather alert. there is deadly heat, and it is really gripping the country. folks across the southwest bracing for yet another day of recording triple-digit temperatures. the weather causing an emergency at an outdoor concert they had in las vegas. dozens of fans rushed to the hospital. nearly 200 others suffered heat-related symptoms. and so far there is one death blamed on the extreme heat our country is seeing this morning. and good morning to you. welcome to america's news headquarters. we'll have much more on that. i'm jamie colby. >> good morning, jamie. and good morning, everyone. i'm eric shawn. the scorching heat is intensifying. the mercury as jamie just said, take a look. soaring again today. this after death valley came within striking distance of the highest temperature ever

recorded on planet earth. 134 degrees. what do we have in store today? chief meteorologist live in the fox extreme weather center. rick, it's unbelievable. 134 degrees. how can anyone even deal with that? >> yeah. and that was 100 years ago. yesterday got to around 124 in death valley. i think in the next couple days we'll see some 128s, 129s. incredibly hot. that one fatality you were talking about is an eltderly man who didn't have any air-conditioning. that's why we say check in on the elderly. a lot of people living on a fixed income and really don't want to or can't afford to turn on the air-conditioning. they need to right now. get them into your homes or get them to a cooling center. already this morning, so what? it's 7:00 in the morning in phoenix and it's 95 degrees, 93 in needles. 93 in vegas. the heat is just not cooling down at night. so the heat builds. and today phoenix getting to 116. got to 119 yesterday. that's your third highest temperature you've ever seen in phoenix. the highest ever was 122.

so we're looking at those kinds of temperatures. in vegas your all-time high is 117. today 116 or 117 or 115. somewhere in there. just incredibly high temperatures. and you'll notice tomorrow doesn't really calm down at all. death valley 127. get toward tuesday, we drop a few degrees down around phoenix. this high pressure area is going to build off toward the northwest. so these high temperatures are moving toward places like idaho and montana and oregon and washington. we're going to see temperatures there in the triple digits for much of the middle part of this week. so the heat moving off toward the northwest. another story we've been watching is out across areas of the eastern seaboard. we're stuck in a pattern here with very heavy rain, and we're going to see more heavy rain between now and tuesday. the next 48 hours a lot of areas seeing two to four inches of rain, and we'll probably see some isolated areas seeing more than that. take a look at some of the video that's out of upstate new york that we're dealing with. this is flooding from record-breaking rainfall and the oneida creek that went out of its banks.

you can take a look. the water has receded, but it cut off so much of that land and into people's yards and through people's homes. major flooding there. and now unfortunately the next couple days we're going to see some more rain in this area. we have a front that's just stalled out here, anywhere kind of to the east of it humid and hot. and to the west of it not necessarily cooler, just a dryer air mass. as the day heats up, we'll once again continue to see all of those showers firing all along the big cities. and unfortunately, eric, i think we're going to be looking at that kind of weather pattern all the way through the 4th of july. all the festivities, what you're doing today and for the past week, the exact same pattern holds with us for much of the coming week. >> it's going to be hot and we have to be careful. and rick, in about 20 minutes from now the doctors will be here to give us some good advice on how we can deal with these scorching temperatures. rick, thanks so much. >> you bet. and now back to our other top story on this sunday morning, those historic protests that as you can see are right now ongoing in egypt. there are new calls for

president mohamed morsy to step down. this just one year since that country held its first free elections following the overthrow of former president hosni mubarak. the demonstrations pit millions of egyptians against their islamic leader. is this a people's revolution against islamic rule? john bolton is the former united states ambassador to the united nations and fox news contributor who joins us every sunday at about this time. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning, eric. glad to be with you. >> why do they want morsy to go? >> there are a lot of reasons that the demonstrators have and sometimes they're conflicting with each other. so while the pictures on the surface look a lot like the demonstrations against mubarak in tahrir square two years ago i think it would be a mistake to assume we're simply seeing a repeat. the fact is the muslim brotherhood government has not performed in a competent fashion. so you have a lot of people who actually long for a return to the stability of the mubarak

years. you do see some people who want a western-style democracy. you see some people who are opponents of the brotherhood because they don't think it's islamicist enough. so i think there's a real risk here that morsi's supporters, who are also out demonstrating today, could come into physical conflict with these anti-morsi demonstrators. we've already seen violence on both sides. this really could spin out of control. >> and what happens if, as you say, potentially it could spin out of control? >> well, many of the demonstrators, the anti-morsi demonstrators make it very clear they want to show such instability that the military is forced to intervene basically to oust morsi and call new elections. and that's why some people mistakenly view the demonstrators as representing the pro-democracy forces. but if you look at the actual

results of the elections, while morsi himself won only narrowly, islamicist legislative candidates won, depending on how you count it, 2/3 or 3/4 of the votes for the parliament. so this turbulence in the streets is really very complicated, and in that respect significantly different from the anti-mubarak demonstrations that we first watched in tahrir square. >> and morsi says he's not backing down. in fact, he just met the other night with more of his islamist backers. they do have in the islamist-inspired constitution some religious authority or paragraphs and dictums and he says they may revise those. would that be enough to quell this sense against him? >> i kind of doubt it. but i think where the anti-morsi demonstrators are miscalculating is that morsi has also done a significant amount of reshuffling of the egyptian military. so if the military did come in, it would not necessarily be

against morsi. it could be against his opponents. and that could spell the end of this democratic experiment in egypt. as many people predicted, that the muslim brotherhood believes in the saying one person one vote one time. >> that's different and quite a contrast to last time, when the egyptian army helped usher out mubarak and ensure some type of stability. >> yeah. that's why i think looking at these demonstrations, superficially of course they look a lot like the anti-mubarak protests of two years ago. but i think politics in egypt have gotten a lot more complicated. nobody should underestimate the support that the muslim brotherhood has notwithstanding that the morsi government has done little or nothing, for example, to overcome egypt's economic problems. the support for an islamic government has been reflected, as i said, in the votes in the parliament. and these people are not going to see morsi pushed out just by

this sort of demonstration. >> so far seven people have been killed, and ambassador, we have the heartbreaking case of the junior from kenyon college in ohio, andrew pochter. he was 21 years old. he was there to teach young egyptians english. his family said he cared profoundly, was there for peace and understanding. and so heartbreakingly, he gets stabbed to death by a protester. how do we honor his memory? how do we honor the idealism of young americans when something like this happens? so potentially the right thing happens in egypt. >> i think it's obviously a tragedy. i think it highlights for us that other americans in cairo and other major egyptian cities could be at risk. the demonstrators who proclaim their support for democracy may be sincere in what they're saying, but they're surrounded by other people who couldn't care less about democracy. so i think the idealism of young

americans like that needs to be tempered with some caution in a very, very volatile and dangerous situation. >> it is very volatile. we'll stay on it throughout the rest of the day here on the fox news channel, of course, as it develops. ambassador john bolton, thanks so much for joining us, as you do always on this sunday. >> thank you, eric. >> ambassador, thank you as well. we want to get to another hot spot in the middle east right now where secretary of state john kerry is claiming real progress in peace talks between the israelis and the palestinians. the secretary is wrapping up four days of nonstop diplomacy, holding a late-night meeting with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and also a last-minute sit-down with palestinian president mahmoud abbas. these talks are aimed at establishing an independent palestinian state alongside israel. it's part of a final peace deal everyone hopes will come. mr. kerry saying "i know progress when i see it." but he didn't elaborate any further. he did say, though, that he is leaving a team of aides in the

region to continue the mediation efforts. and next hour i will have a chance to talk to ambassador dan gillerman, who's a former israeli ambassador to the united nations, and get his take on how these talks are going. snerk. president obama continues his trip to south africa. he and his family toured that island prison, robbin island, where freedom fighter nelson mandela spent nearly 20 years inside that tiny cell as a political prisoner as he fought apartheid. that is where the 94-year-old anti-apartheid hero develop those lung problems that continue to plague him now, putting him in the hospital, leaving him at this moment in critical condition in pretoria. he's been in that hospital the last three weeks. greg polcott streaming live from pretoria. greg, how's hisndition? >> reporter: hey, eric. we're just outside the hospital where nelson mandela is. he's been there for 23 days in that condition. critical but stable.

but as you noted, attention being paid to the man elsewhere on this day as well. president obama here on that african tour, has just wrapped up that visit to robben island. mandela spent a long time in that courageous and long struggle against apartheid here in south africa. there had been some hopes obama could come to this hospital and visit with the man he has called on this trip had i personal hero. because of his condition that is not going to happen. but obama did meet with mandela family members. doesn't really matter, though, eric. we continue to watch wave after wave of well wishers come here to the gate of the hospital from all phases of this man's historic life. anti-apartheid militants, salvation army charity bands, and little kids. tons of little kids. he loves children. and it's sunday. all across south africa prayers are being said for the national icon. including in the church that was in mandela's old neighborhood of soweto, just outside of johannesburg.

that was the scene of some very ugly violence in the past. on this day now a scene of jubilation about a new and free and peaceful south africa, a south africa that the man in the hospital room just about 100 yards from where we're standing had so much to do with. back to you, eric. >> greg, in about two hours the president will be making a historic speech at the university of capetown, echoing what robert f. kennedy said 50 years ago there dealing with the issue of apartheid and racism. thanks, greg. well, back home now to one of the biggest washington scandals right now. the irs political profiling scandal. the tax agency remains under fire for targeting conservative groups. this we know. back in may president obama said if the allegations were true it would be inexcusable and he vowed to hold the responsible parties accountable. but it's eight weeks later now and there's still been no special prosecutor appointed to

even investigate the matter. byron york has some thoughts on that, the chief political correspondent for "the washington examiner." also a fox news contributor. byron, good morning to you. >> good rning, jamie. >> first of all, we haven't even gotten an answer on who ordered this or where it came from. am i correct? >> that's right. and what we've seen in the last week or two is that if anything, it has become more polarized politically. we've seen some really serious pushback from democrats. you remember a couple weeks ago elijah cummings, the ranking democrat on the house investigating committee said the mystery was solved, they found out it was really just a couple people in cincinnati who did all this. and in the last few days we've seen some democrats say there really wasn't ever any scandal at all, that the irs simply did not single out conservative groups. but now we have the inspector general of the treasury department saying, well, yeah, they did, the treatment of conservative groups was really one-sided, they subjected them to a lot more scrutiny than they did liberal groups. so that's where the situation is. and a lot of people are saying

the only way you could solve it is to have a special prosecutor. >> and it would seem that both sides of the aisle are on the same page, although there are allegations of it being drawn along partisan lines. president obama on may 15th said americans are right to be angry about this and "i will not," he said, "tolerate this kind of behavior in any agency, but especially the irs." and then congressman trey gowdy put it this way in terms of lois lerner and her pleading the fifth. listen. >> yes, she has a fifth amendment right to remain silent. she sat there and could have said nothing. we had a witness this week who did that. we had a witness this week who said nothing. she didn't. she made nine separate factual assertions. and then she authenticated a document. if that is not waiver, if that is not express waiver, then

surely it's implied waiver. and if it's not implied waiver, what is? >> i look at this as an attorney and to me he's made a very strong case for the fact that the fifth had been waived. but politically in listening to president obama and what he had to say too, it seems like everybody else agrees, but is that your position or what you're hearing on the beltway? >> well, the question is how to go forward with this. obviously, we just saw a little bit of grandstanding there in representative gowdy's performance. the problem is if you appoint a special prosecutor it's a double-edged sword. the special prosecutor could presumably find out, get to the bottom of this, subpoena people, charge them with crimes if that were appropriate and get to the bottom of this. but it's all in private. he'd be telling all these witnesses you can't talk to anybody else, so -- >> why hasn't that happened, byron? why aren't we at a point where the special prosecutor -- the american people deserve answers. the president agrees. >> well, i think the president may be a little wary of actually

getting into this because special prosecutor investigations have always turned out to be bigger, more extensive, more far-reaching than it's thought at the beginning of it. and as far as republicans are concerned, i'm not sure they want to just turn off this whole scandal and make it be -- put it behind closed doors. now we're having congressional hearings. we're finding out piece by piece what happened in this albeit in a very politically polarized context, but we're finding stuff out. if a special prosecutor is appointed, it all goes behind a closed door, we won't know about it until a very long time from now. >> that's great analysis. privately special prosecutor, publicly hearings, right now hearings. byron, thank you very much. really interesting. >> thank you, jamie. >> have a good day. okay? eric? jamie, what do you do when it's 124 degrees outside? well, the blistering heat wave shows no signs of ending. so when the mercury rises, how do we deal with it to stay safe? our sunday "house call" doctors

well, it's a big issue, and fox news sunday has some exclusive interviews on it.

the uncertain future of the immigration reform bill. two key authors of the senate's bill responded to house speaker john boehner, who has said that the house will write its own legislation about immigration. here are senators john mccain and charles schumer. >> i really hesitate to tell speaker boehner exactly how he should do this, but i think republicans realize the implications of the future of the republican party in america if we don't get this issue behind us. and by the way, we do share the common goal of believing that the de facto amnesty is there, that we need to bring 11 million people out of the shadows. >> so within several months speaker boehner will find two choices -- no bill or let a bill pass with a majority of democratic votes and some chamber of commerce type republicans. and he'll find that the better choice. we'll pass the senate bill by the end of this year even though most house members don't think so. >> so what will happen? john roberts joins us now, filling in for chris wallace on

"fox news sunday." good morning to you, john. >> good morning, eric. i was a little surprised by what senator schumer said there, as i think were a lot of people, including speaker boehner's spokesperson michael steele, who said in response "wishful thinking, frankly, is not a strategy for getting a bill to the president's desk." this idea that the house will in a couple or three months decide, you know what? let's just take up the senate bill and put it to a vote doesn't look like it's going to happen under any circumstances. particularly when you listen to speaker boehner, who says that i'm not going to bring anything to the floor that doesn't have the support from the majority of my caucus. he's invoking what's called the hastert rule. which he has waived in some past votes but doesn't want to on immigration because of the potential for what happens during republican primaries early next year as his members of his caucus prepare for the midterm elections in november. >> what do they do? as you said, mr. bow noehner's

spokesperson, "it's wishful thinking, frankly, it's not a strategy for getting a bill to the president's desk quochlt you've got one side saying according to senator schumer they're going to pass it, the other side saying no, we're not. >> well, senator schumer may have his predictions and he may have his faith in the house but he's also a senator and not a house member on the republican side. speaker boehner has made it very clear as have other republicans like trey gowdy who we interviewed on "fox news sunday" that they will not take up the senate bill. they're going to follow their own path. they're going to write their own legislation. and the way that that process is going 2340u is not a comprehensive immigration bill like the one that passed the senate. it's a bunch of bite-sized chunks, many of them dealing with security, other ones dealing with enforcement, other ones dealing with visa programs, and they haven't even begun talking about this path to citizenship. right now that is the issue in the house among republicans that is radioactive. and until they get the enforcement piece of this done

in a way that they can be confident with, they're not even going to talk about a path to citizenship. now, if republicans don't pass an immigration bill, and you heard john mccain allude to it right there, it could severely impact the fortunes of the republican party. perhaps not in the midterm elections in 2014. but you can bet that if they don't pass immigration reform, whoever is the democratic nominee for president, and that could well be hillary clinton, would hammer them mercilessly over that and would make the 27% of hiss payne voters thhispanic that mitt romney bought in 2012 look like a high water mark in republican politics. >> it's a big issue and certainly nowhere near being resolved. john, good to see you. >> good to see you too, eric. >> what a big issue this is for our country. senators john mccain and charles schumer, only on "fox news sunday." that's 2:00 p.m. here on the fox news channel and 6:00 p.m. a

little later on today. you can check your local fox station where you live. right, jamie? >> well, that's true. i'm going to watch. plus we have a health warning for all baby boomers out there. a panel of leading medical experts has recommended widespread screening for hepatitis c. plus some disturbing new findings about teens and concussions. do you have teens? you want to know about this. because they happen a lot more often than they think. not just playing football and butting heads. it can also prove deadly. we'll be right back. hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios has oats that can help lower cholesterol? and it tastes good? sure does! wow. it's the honey, it makes it taste so... well, would you look at the time... what's the rush? be happy. be healthy.

that's such a catchy tune. well, it is time now, as you now know, for "sunday house call." and joining us this morning is dr. marc siegel, associate professor of medicine at the nyu langone medical center. did you know he's also the author of "the inner puls pulse: unlocking the secret code of sickness and
